Finish out the year by preparing for a new and exciting career in the permanent makeup industry beginning 2016. Give us a call to get enrolled prior to noon on December 23 for a class in January, February or March and you can still pay 2015 tuition rates. Then you can start off your new year by joining us for a fun and exciting week jam packed with knowledge, passion, experience and expertise as you learn how to successfully earn an amazing income in this rewarding industry. Please keep in mind that our offices are closed from noon December 23, 2015 through January 3, 2016 and all tuition rates will be increasing after January 1. If you get enrolled prior to our holiday hiatus you can still be enrolled at our 2015 rates even though we would be scheduling your class sometime between January 1 and March 31, 2016.

The field of Permanent Cosmetics is an exciting and growing industry. Electrologists, estheticians, nurses, tattoo artists, cosmetologists and physicians are among the diverse group who have added this specialty to their portfolio of services as well as many talented individuals who come from a completely unrelated career since there are no specific pre-requisites to get into this lucrative industry. As is often the case in a rapidly growing field, there are a wide range of options for training. These options need to be closely reviewed as this can be an expensive investment in your future. Success in this industry is directly related to the quality and amount of training you receive.

Since most states have no specific educational requirements, the easiest form of training would be to find someone who is willing to take a small fee to let you sit in while they work or maybe you can find a school online that offers a two-day course. However, keep in mind, that if you do not train in a legitimate training facility, you will not be able to get insured from liability and quite simply it could really be a struggle to try to learn something of such importance in only two days. From our experience, the most affordable way is to learn from a legitimate training facility that will train you privately with only one or two students per class so you are not throwing away good money to decide you really need more training in order to feel comfortable and insure your new business. Consider how long you would like someone to study before they perform cosmetic tattooing on your face!

Beginning courses should teach you to perform eyeliner, eyebrow and lip liner/full lip procedures. If you are considering classes that claim you can do scar camouflage and/or skin re-pigmentation and areola tattooing all in one session, you may want to reconsider. These are very advanced procedures and in our opinion should not be included in a beginner class.

Before signing up for classes inquire as to how many students are going to be in the class. All classes must include hands-on training with live models. If there is more than one student per trainer for hands-on work you will not get the individual attention you need to learn these procedures safely and effectively.

How long have the instructors been in the industry? How many procedures have they done? Don’t be afraid to ask for references from previous students.

Look for a curriculum that includes not only makeup artistry but proper sterilization, health considerations, equipment operation and maintenance, needles, autoclaves, pigment selection and color mixing, client forms, pre and post-procedure care, chart notes, consent forms, documenting with photography and it is also a bonus if they are suppliers of equipment and pigments so you can start out by using what you learned with. We make sure at Globally Preferred to give you everything you need to complete your education and get the products you need directly from us as seen here http://www.globallypreferred.com/shop.

Also find out what continuing support you will receive to answer the ongoing questions that are bound to arise. Can you come back to work with the trainer if you have a problem without additional charges? Is there someone you can call for help?

You will also find our instructors at Globally Preferred are qualified in advanced procedures such as skin camouflage, areola reconstruction, microneedling/dermal rolling and or skin needling so you can always further your career should you decide to do so in the future.

Please call to discuss class options and available dates. Our enrollment can be done via phone and email. Don’t forget to ask about our holiday discounts for paying your tuition in full or if that is not an option we are still offering our affordable in-house payment plan for another couple of weeks. (payment plan also ending December 31, 2015).

Permanent makeup is something many brides have been doing for a very long time. Imagine not only the impact on your daily routine but no smears from the happy tears on your big day!

We offer many different options for eyeliner, eyebrow and lip treatments. For instance you could decide to just have a lash enhancement which is just a subtle amount of color implanted in your lash bed to make them look longer and thicker or you could decide to do your regular full eyeliner so you never have to apply it yourself yet wake up with those enviable almond eyes by having a fine crisp line at the inner corner of the eye and gradually widening it toward the outer corner. As a new client we recommend a phone consultation before booking the procedure. During this consultation we will answer all of your questions and go through a medical questionnaire with you to be sure that you are a safe candidate for these types of procedures.

Its ok to be nervous when you come in for your treatment, after all you’re most likely handling all the wedding details too. We’ll reassure you the whole time that there is nothing to be nervous about. You’re in very capable hands at Globally Preferred, so relax bride to be….we could always take care of the maid of honor first so you can watch 🙂

We usually need you to come back in approx. 4 weeks post procedure to give it that “second coat” so to speak so we can fine tune things and be sure there aren’t any voids left after healing (it could help it to last longer as well) so keep in mind to plan ahead as you will want to do this at least 8 weeks before the wedding. Just so you understand, there is no way to determine beforehand exactly how long the color will remain visible. It depends on several factors including skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure and general health. Touch ups can be done as often as every 6 months. However, most people get a color boost every one to two years to maintain their desired look or even change the color and shape. If it is not maintained it will just fade away over time.

We look forward to seeing you this fall and getting you the very best look for a very special day that belongs to you!

The 4th of July is one of the summer’s biggest….scratch that…. IS the summer’s biggest celebration for most. Let’s not forget that the sole purpose of this holiday is that it marks the birth of the United States of America and the dream of a nation under God, with unalienable rights endowed equally to all — among these life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Those very words should send awe-filled shivers up your spine as it does ours. So let’s also remember this holiday is a time for all of us who really cherish that original dream, the one for which so many have died, to individually and collectively honor those who serve or have served our country to allow us these celebrations!

On a personal level, if you are still in pursuit of finding that happy and financially rewarding career, Globally Preferred is here to help you. Feeling your best isn’t always about what you put on or look like on the outside, it’s about how you feel about what you do every day to make a living in this wonderful free country of ours. Whether you want to add a little something extra on the side or if you are ready to make the plunge and be self-employed in one of the most exciting, rapidly growing industries today, we have options for you. Some of these options involve 1 day workshops to learn the art of offering lash extensions or 4-5 day classes for permanent makeup. If sales is your passion, there is always the option of joining our networking team of individuals who are offering life changing opportunities while sharing the best skin care line for anti-aging to your friends and family. All of these business opportunities have huge income potentials on either a part time or full time basis with very little financial investment.

Yes…. men can benefit from Permanent makeup! In this time of the aging baby boomers MEN want to look good too.

One of the most popular uses of permanent cosmetics for men is to help shape eyebrows or define eyes that have sparse lashes or lost their luster. Some men also choose permanent makeup to fill thinning beards and hairlines with normal hair loss. Lightly and irregularly sketched brows look more realistic than feminine brows that are purposely more arched and groomed and we always strive to give a man the most natural look possible. For male eyes, we prefer the hand tool method to create a softer powdery look to simulate hair follicles and look more natural than a hard solid line.

Permanent makeup is great for men who want to enhance their features with natural looks rather than looking “made up”.

EYEBROWS

For our male clients who want natural looking eyebrows we recommend the hair stroke simulation. This technique consists of implanting color one hair stroke line at a time between existing brow hair to give a fuller look without creating a groomed, feminine shape. Having the procedure done by a professional technician will give assured confidence that nobody will be able to identify that you have had permanent makeup applied. It is also suggested for men who want to create a gradual effect to do their brows in sessions rather than creating too full of a look in one sitting.

GUYLINER

Eyeliner (or as we prefer to call it – lash enhancement) is the new up and coming cosmetic application for men too. We’ve all heard 40 is ht new 30, 50 is the new 40, etc., etc. Well men are right along side women when it comes to taking care of themselves and looking younger by using hair products, waxing, getting botox/fillers, pedis/manis and yes….even eyeliner. The bottom line is as we age our eyes start to lose their shape, size and luster and adding a little lash enhancement can take 10 years off one’s aging appearance.

At Globally Preferred we work together to assist you in your process of trying to decide whats best for you and your desired goal to achieve the look that’s right for you.

And yes…even Robert Downey Jr. has it. Can’t be much more of “The Man” than Iron-Man!

Look familiar??!! If you plan to wear makeup swimming don’t rub your face with a towel when drying off! Pat your face gently so you don’t smear or smudge. Another option is to use blotting papers to absorb excess moisture. Ha! Then of course you will be in need of a serious touch-up so be sure to tote your makeup to the pool or beach but try to keep it out of the sun or it will melt and most definitely don’t get any sand in it!! Ughhhhh.

When it comes to finding summer swim-proof makeup don’t settle for being a hot, runny mess. Traditionally your only choice in the past was to wear expensive daily makeup then swimming with it on still resulting in a runny, hot mess. You are better off investing in a more permanent active summer solution with us! Who wants to invest in very expensive name brand water-resistant and waterproof makeup just to keep reapplying each time your face gets wet by the pool, lake or beach? Your makeup is melted, full of sand and you finally “throw in the towel” on your appearance by mid day.

Some people simply don’t understand why girls need to apply cosmetics before they hit the water. While it may appear diva-ish, there are cases when wearing a bit of makeup to the pool or the beach is not as strange as it sounds. For example, for those who do not have eyebrows from birth defects, thyroid issues, alopecia, etc. Besides, who doesn’t want their face to look your best after busting your butt to look good in that swimsuit!

Do you want your brows to look amazing at the beach, the pool…. ANYWHERE…ALL THE TIME? No need to fill them in or to continuously check a mirror while you should be enjoying your summer day with family and friends! Why not have your Permanent Eyebrows look like they are the real deal from the moment you wake up?

And hey….Let’s not forget the lips! Having the Permanent Lip Stain and/or Liner done will give you the perfect natural tint or the perfect shape and color without constantly having to reapply your lipstick. You can throw a little gloss or sunblock on your lips without looking in a mirror and you will look phenomenal!

Why not achieve these effortless looks before your summer vacation? Do yourself a favor, treat yourself ! Every client says their only regret is that they didn’t do it years ago! Enjoy your summer outside…. not hiding in a bathroom or behind a mirror doing your makeup for hours on end!

Call Globally Preferred and we will leave you worry free every morning and all day on these hot summer weeks ahead. Our permanent makeup looks incredibly natural and beautiful and you certainly don’t have to worry about it coming off!

If you’re looking to get your makeup done before the holidays this may be a great opportunity for you at a greatly discounted rate! We currently have model openings next week in our Evansville, Wisconsin location. Almost all spots are filled, but we are still in need of one brow model Tuesday, November 18 at 2:00 p.m. and one eyeliner model Thursday, November 20, also at 2:00 p.m

All of our students need to experience the benefits of working on live models. Each student has the option of having work done on themselves first, and if they are not candidates for a procedure we call in outside models. We have set scheduled classes each month and as we determine our model needs we start calling the people on our model list. If you are available for the class we are in need of, we will schedule you for that particular appointment. It is really hard to determine if you will get in for an appointment in a week or several months, but we will continue to call you until you can get in or you decide otherwise. We do ask that once you make a commitment to be a model for a specified date that you under no circumstances, other than an extreme emergency, cancel as we have students that travel here from all over the world to become certified micro pigmentation specialists and they are on a tight schedule to perform all of their procedures before they can be certified. It is really hard to bring in a model at the last minute. If you have already had permanent makeup done and are in need of just a touch-up we are not able to schedule you as a model (unless it is EXTREMELY faded) for both eyeliner and brow models.

An eyeliner model must be willing to do both upper AND lower lids, as the technique and stretches for both lids are very different and each student needs to experience performing the full procedure.

In order to be a lip model you would need to have both the outline and the full lip color performed. You can be a lip model as many times as you like as each procedure is done exactly the same way each time whether you already have color or not. Unfortunately, you cannot be a model for just “lip liner” as each student needs to experience performing the entire lip procedure.

Again, if you already have your brows done in order to be a model the must be EXTREMELY faded as part of the training is to learn the design process of the brow.

We do ask that you be willing to sign a photo release giving the school, and our students, permission to take your pictures and to use them for the students’ portfolios, advertising, or whatever the need be.

The fee for being a model for our class is only $25 for each procedure the day the student is working on you. Please be advised that permanent makeup can sometimes be a process and not just a procedure. As a full paying client you do receive a free follow-up but there is no free follow-up as a model. However, a follow-up (if needed) can be scheduled with one of our experienced instructors, at your convenience, no sooner than 4 to 6 weeks after the initial application and the charge for the follow-up for anyone who has been a model is only $100. So ultimately you could get your service for as low as $25 or $125 as opposed to the full prices of $400-$500 per procedure. As with all full paying clients, any future touch-ups are charged at the rate of $50 per hour and touch-ups are generally 1 to 1 ½ hours depending on how many years you wait and how faded the original work is at that point.

If this sounds like something you are interested in, please contact us as soon as possible so we can pre-screen you with a few health questions to determine if you are in fact a candidate for this type of procedure.

Long-lasting makeup is the leading new trend in the cosmetics industry, according to Mintel, a global leader in marketing research. In a recent study reported on Professional Beauty, Mintel found that nearly half of all new cosmetics products launched this year feature durable, long-lasting color. The trend should have more women considering permanent makeup which far outlasts any long-lasting cosmetic on the market.

Offering the ultimate in beautiful, long-lasting color, artistically-applied permanent eyebrows, permanent eye liner, permanent lip color and permanent full face makeup cut time spent on makeup application to the barest minimum. Just cleanse, moisturize and you’re out the door!

“As well as fitting with the time pressures of modern life, color cosmetics with long-lasting claims appeal to value-seeking consumers,” Mintel household and personal care analyst Charlotte Libby told Professional Beauty. As Charlotte pointed out, makeup products that require less frequent application last longer, giving consumers greater value for their money.

The trend is particularly noticeable in face and eye makeup which lead the cosmetics industry in emphasis on long-lasting products. According to Mintel, 55% of new face makeup and 52% of new eye makeup claim to be long lasting.

A second leading trend toward multi-purpose cosmetics reflects the desire of time-strapped women to spend less time and money on their makeup routine. The trend is obvious in the recent proliferation of cosmetics products that fulfill more than one function, such as primers and foundations that include a moisturizer and sunscreen.
